      cdrom: support devices that have check_events but not media_changed · b8cf0e0e
      Simon Arlott authored
      Commit 93aae17a ("sr: implement
      sr_check_events()") replaced the media_changed op with the
      check_events op in drivers/scsi/sr.c
      
      All users that check for the CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED capbility try both
      the check_events op and the media_changed op, but register_cdrom()
      was requiring media_changed.
      
      This patch fixes the capability checking.
      
      The cdrom_select_disc ioctl is also using the two operations, so
      they should be required for CDC_SELECT_DISC too.

      cfq-iosched: Don't wait if queue already has requests. · 02a8f01b
      Justin TerAvest authored
      Commit 7667aa06 added logic to wait for
      the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request),
      so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously
      backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last
      queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has
      requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the
      flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy
      is set, the queue is expired.  This results in early expiration of the
      queue.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already
      has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices
      do not expire early.
      
      The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers.
      Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers.
